As I have mentioned before, (several times in fact), I am here and blogging, thanks to bloggers such as Crystal Paine.
I have always been a frugal person, a couponaholic, and a deal hunter, but a few years ago when a medical catastrophe hit me, I was forced to figure out more ways to save and earn money.
I was never a huge fan of computers, and the internet. I am still pretty old fashioned, I like books, board games, and I like for my children to know what an encyclopedia and a dictionary and actual books are like! But, we purchased a computer and I decided to put it to work!
One of the first newsletters I had signed up with, was The Money Saving Mom Newsletter, and I was happy to get some tips and links and help with the online shopping and bargain hunting world.
Crystal does an excellent job with her blogs, and she is one of the reasons I started my own. I always enjoy reading her posts and articles about blogging, and her "how to's" and her positive outlook is enough to make a busy mom like me, (who by the way, had no clue how any of this blogging, hyperlinks, downloading, installing, lol, you get the picture, worked!)
I was so happy to hear about her book deal, and was anxious to read her book when it came out.
Her book is actually being released in January of 2012.
I received her book about a month ago, and was very excited to be asked to do a review on her book!!
This was honestly something I didn't expect, as I am still fairly new and only run 2 blogs for now with a little over 100 followers between the 2! But, we all have to start somewhere.
I read the book in just a few days, and I was pleased with the way it was written. She keeps your attention on each page, and has her own way of writing, which is very pleasant, positive, friendly, and gives you something to smile about.
This is an excellent starter book for anybody who has recently lost a job, has been going through rough times, or just wants to learn how and what they can do to become more self sufficient and save where ever they can for their families!
Crystal covers mostly everything in this book, and I was happy to see that there really wasn't anything left out. All of the tips and advice were well written, and I appreciate her writing this book to help others out.
I am also relieved that Crystal covers couponing, the truthful way! This is something I have been doing for so many years, and to have certain tv shows, and bloggers and Facebook pages, come out with some ridiculous, far fetched, crazy, unbelievable, coupon strategies, and stockpiling maniacs, made to depict all couponers, and frugal moms, as some loopy, hoarding, monsters, I was very much appreciative when I read her book!
From the grocery store to the drug store, to online, I am a little tired of being treated as a loon, and an "Extreme Couponer"! I get called this everytime I am shopping with my coupon binder! Not to mention the people who are anxiously awaiting to learn how to do "Extreme Couponing", and they don't realize yet what exactly reality is...
But Crystal, thank goodness, gives a very real depiction of couponing, what it's about, how to do it, and even covers the ever so hard question to answer for people, "How do I save without coupons?"
From tips and pointers about savings, and NOT using the ever loved, American way, lol, credit card, and swiping everywhere you go, to personal empowerment, cash only challenges, to how to give and donate, no matter your income, her book covers it all!
I guarantee it is well worth your while, even if you are an avid saver, and couponer, It is an enjoyable read, and I love knowing that it was written by somebody who has been through rough times just like my family.
Who better to get your shopping tips and saving and budget advice from, then another busy mommy who wants to instill good values in her children, and is always looking for ways to save as much as possible in every aspect?
PS) I may be having a giveaway for a copy of The Money Saving Mom's Budget, very soon!
Keep reading this blog and my other blog, http://www.momscrazyday.com/, for info on when this giveaway will start!!

Hurry! This Deal ends Sunday!! Buy One Get One Free 3D Puzzles!
He loves puzzles, as most kids do, and 3D puzzles are extra cool!!!
You can even use these for 2 seperate gifts!
This is definitely one of those deals I am keeping as my favorite holiday deals, and as a favorite gift for kids!
Puzzles are a great way to keep your kids minds in motion! They, just like blocks and Legos, help with problem solving, creativity, help teach patience, and what a reward when they have them completely built!
I started a deal with my kids last year, we are not buying, giving, any technology type gifts at Christmas, and we are well stocked on board games, cards, story cubes, puzzles, and things that kids should really be playing with!
We normally spend $50 per kid at Christmas, (this total is after discounts, deals, cash back, etc), so it may not seem like a lot, but Aaron will have 2 gifts for $15 to open, just with these puzzles! Plus, the kids do get a couple neat surprise gifts to share with each other. After all, Christmas is not about gifts and who gets what. We are hoping to instill these values in our children and teach them to be happy for what they have and grateful for the little things, and learn what Christmas is really about!
**I personally do prefer to purchase American made items, and I always try my best to find that, however, this is getting more rare, and this is very sad! But, when I am looking for something in particular, I search brands, and country of origin, before I decide what I buy for basically all of our purchases**
Baby Signs DVD Set Half Off!!
This is such a sweet deal! Half off the Baby Signs DVD set!
Definitely an excellent gift for any family of friends you know that would be in need of such a cute set!
The set normally sells for $99.99, so half off is surely a price you won't want to give up!

Upcoming Reviews Part 3
About 6 years ago, my family finally broke down and purchased our very first computer. I know, lol, many people do not believe this, but it is true. I was very much against what I believed a computer would take from families, people, books, encyclopedias, dictionaries, school, showing work on paper, pen pals, letters, living as we knew it, and children's imaginations, among other things. I still am a firm believer in all of this, except now I do understand that there are many benefits to owning and using a computer, as long as you don't abuse it!
Well, for starters, I was pretty excited about printing coupons from home, and using them at the store! I was also very impressed with the store websites and being able to view the flyers and sales and wow! Shopping online!!
I was raised to live very frugal, and my mom was the kind of mom that when we said, "Mom!! Can we get a box of Lucky Charms at the store?". she would reply with, "Only if you find a coupon for it!". and proceed to dump a box, a very big box, of coupons onto a pile on the floor! So, I always swore I will never ever ever do this to my kids! Well, it turns out, I did, lol. Much more as a matter of fact, and my oldest daughter, Bethany, really hates coupons, but since she has been gone from home, she has used them.
A few years ago, I finally broke down and accepted the fact that I will have to get reconstructive foot and ankle surgery done, on my left side first, then the right was to be second. Well, the first surgery was such a failure, and I now live with RSD, among other issues with my left leg, that the second was never touched. So, the computer then for me, turned out being my best friend, co worker, employer and employee.
I have spent almost 6 full years, finding the best opportunities, survey sites, all the deal sites, coupons, you name it, I probably have been there, and have accounts, or affiliates! I rarely have time for all of them, which is a shame, because there really is a lot you can do online to benefit your lifestyle, family, home, and shopping styles.
I also relied very much on other bloggers, (I only started blogging in May of 2011), email newsletters, and communities for parents, couponers, and the like.
One of my favorite bloggers, and my favorite email newsletter, comes from Crystal Paine, from http://www.moneysavingmom.com/.
I always appreciated her good heart, great sense of humor, and have grown to emulate her attitude towards blogging. I am very thankful for her emails, and positive posts she always has about blogging, starting an online business, etc.
I have taught myself so much about computers, blogging, websites, networking, and I have been able to share my experience and expertise with several others, and I plan to share much more and to continue growing in numbers! I do have to thank Crystal, for being behind the final push.
Onto my next review, which I am very delighted to be able to have been given this opportunity!
Crystal Paine's new book, that will be released in January of 2012!
The Money Saving Mom's Budget, I am sure will prove to be an excellent source of information for newbies, and even the pros out there.
I have received a rough copy this past week, and I am almost done reading it. I am hoping to have this full review up by the end of next week.
There may also be a giveaway with this review too! You will definitely want to stick around and subscribe to my RSS! lol! There should be plenty of info, giveaways, and reviews in the next month, just in time for Christmas!

CK Bakery Shop
I had the pleasure of staying up late one night a few weeks ago, and luckily being on Facebook to update my page, when I noticed a real cool page, CK Bakery Shop.
You have got to check this business out! WOW!
This business, started out by the owner, baking cakes for her husband and son who were fighting overseas in the war, and sending a little bit of sadly missed home, right to them. Cakes baked in mason jars, and shipped right in a box through the USPS!
This idea and business absolutely fascinated me, and I was overwhelmed with joy, knowing that there are so many amazing people out there in the world.
What a brilliant idea I thought, and I noticed she was offering deals and specials, and I knew i had to try these cakes out right away!!
You have to see the amazing list of flavors and varieties she has available! I just think this is the sweetest idea!
CK Bakery Shop's cakes in a jar, would be an excellent gift for college students, soldiers, elderly friends or family, disabled family members, and friends, anybody who could use a good pick me up and a reminder that someone is thinking about them!
CK Bakery Shop runs a very active and fun Facebook page, head on over and tell them Busymommylist sent you!!
When you get there, you can check her list of flavors, and prices, and the prices are very reasonable, not to mention she runs extra awesome deals and promotions!
She offers a Cake of the Month Club, and minicake samplers, (which is what I received to share with my kids;p)
We received, Chocolate "Cav" Cake, Red Velvet, Chocolate Brownie, Double Chocolate, Blue Star Banner Blueberry, and Stars and Stripes. My favorite was the Chocolate "Cav" Cake, lol. ( chocolate with peanut butter, yum!!)
All of the cakes were just like homemade, and were adorable in the little mini mason jars!
the package we received, was a $15 mini cake sampler, which includes 6 flavors of your choice, and includes shipping costs!!!
Please check out CK Bakery Shop's Facebook page, and place an order asap!!

My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software Review and Giveaway!
I have never been much of a scrapbooker, but I am addicted to this software and I found that it is not just for scrapbooking!
I have since signed up for the newsletter, from http://www.mymemories.com, and they have very cool deals and specials, included some free downloads.
I was having a hard time getting this download and starting this new hobby, due to printer issues, and ink problems, and I am finally able to print all of our creations. ( The kids are super happy about this!).
I have only recently started blogging, and learning all I can about computers, blogging, and everything in between. I have to say, it has been an adventure! I pick new goals each week, and each day, and it is quite fulfilling when I can cross something off my list.
For being fairly new and trying to teach myself so many things, this My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software, was a blessing! It was so simple to install, and start the whole process, not to mention how simple it is to start creating your pages, pictures, cards, practically anything you want! (I just recently started learning how to mess with pictures, edit, cropping, etc, with our caveman years digital camera, lol), so i was shocked at how easy this was to place the pictures right where I want them.
The variety of layouts, and templates, will keep you occupied and allow for many, many, scrapbooks pages or virtually anything you can think of! I have come across some very adorable blog templates and buttons, made from this software, so that is something I am attempting next! I have been reading blogs that I have found through Mymemories on Facebook, and they are some of the prettiest, and coolest designs I have seen!
This is something every mom, grandma, dad, blogger, crafter, business, anybody, should have! There is so much you can do with this, and the price is just right. $39.97 for the complete My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software, is a nice price! They also offer backup, and updated versions as well, for a very low price. I was given a coupon code you can use, to receive $10 off the final price of your order!! This can be placed directly in the coupon code box at checkout! You can click here to purchase the software and when you get to the checkout process, (You should check out the other kits they offer! There is a "free kits" tab at the top of the page!!), you can enter this coupon code, STMMMS10452, for $10 off of your order! (This code is only for the My Memories Suite v2, but this software will start you out on tons and tons of options for creating so many things!
While you are grabbing this software, you have to check out all of their deals! They have freebies, like I mentioned before, and dollar deals, digital scrapbooking kits, very gorgeous album templates, and a Design Club!
The Design Club is $5.99 per month and you can cancel at any time, (although I doubt you will want too) because they will give you 5 exclusive new kits, each month! You also get access to the new designs, a month before everybody else! You also will receive specials, promos, extra super deals for Design Club members, AND the best part, (ok, one of the best parts, because the 5 exclusive new kits each month is very cool!), is you will receive a 5% discount for every 6 consecutive months that you stay in the Design Club! (up to 20%!!). That discount applies to anything in their store, and is stackable with other deals and promotional discounts. I am very impressed with that deal, compared to other "clubs', i have never come across such awesome benefits!
Back to my review of this real amazing download! I am just amazed at the amount of designs, colors, shapes, templates, textures, shadows, all kinds of extras in this software download, that is very simple to put together, and looks wonderful! The picture at the top of this post, is the very first page I created with My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software. I am so happy and shocked that I was able to do this, and I am spending the rest of our rainy day, creating more pages!
On top of all of the real cool and cute flowers, and ribbons, and shapes, the parts I am in love with are the textures! The shadowing tool is very neat too! I just think this is super cool! I love how it adds dimension to the pages! You have to look at all of the embellishments there is! I am just so thrilled to have this, and i keep coming up with new ideas for gifts and pages.
There are many options to share your creations, you can print your own creations, or have them professionally made into a book, (or books). you can order as many of these hard bound books as you would like. An excellent idea for relations for the holidays!
You can also choose to have a DVD made, or view on your iPod.
There is also a way to make your scrapbook interactive, and you can send to long distance friends and family. They can play video, and you can embed files, and share links. You can make calendars, cards, trading cards for your children's sports teams, make posters, and videos to share with family!
This is the perfect gift also, for your favorite pro scrapbooker! They will have a blast with this program, I have read lots of reviews about this program, and it seems that there are several avid scrapbookers, who have been using this software, and only this software. (You do not have to use the templates that are provided, you can make one from scratch!)
You have to check out their website, and see for yourself, all of the designs, templates, kits and options you will have with www.mymemories.com! Think of all of the money saved making your own greeting cards and calendars!!
Don't forget, if you go here and enter the coupon code, you will receive $10 off!http://www.mymemories.com/digital_scrapbooking_software (making this software, the final price of $29.97!) The holidays are coming up and this would also be a great gift for family and friends! Whether you are making the creations as gifts or purchasing the software for them, it is the perfect, and a very thoughtful gift.
I will be making another post today, as Mymemories, is sponsoring a giveaway for my readers! YAY!!
The giveaway winner will receive a promo code, to install the My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software for FREE!
Check my blogs, and Facebook in the next 24 hours, for this giveaway to be officially announced!

Keurig Brewers at One Cup Connection
I was recently informed of how wonderful these coffeemakers were, and I have been reading up on them, researching them, reading reviews, asking friends and family members, and I am hoping to get some of my online friends comments and suggestions on these products!
I have had the same coffeemaker for years, I love it, but it's time for a new one. Although, keeping a small coffeepot around, might still work, since coffee runs through my veins! I hope it really doesn't but I would not be shocked if that would be on my medical file!
I found this real neat site, http://www.onecupconnection.com/, where they sell these Keurig brewers, and offer an excellent variety of products.
My husband was like "Oh yeah! I definately would love to have one of those! Those are awesome!" he is a coffee drinker to, thanks to me I think, but he also likes to have 1 cup at a time throughout the day. Not a pot at a time, like me.
We usually have coffee every morning, and coffee after dinner each night. he normally has to be in bed fairly early during the week, due to his work schedule, so, the 1 cup part really is a big plus for us!
The other very big plus that I have found, is the amount of different coffees available for these Keurig Brewers! There are so many to choose from and the varieties seem endless! This is also going to be a major factor in my. "Hmmmm, should miss can't bear to spend the extra money on something that I do not need at the moment, splurge on such an amazing coffee brewer?"
When I say "splurge", you have to remember that I am the type who just will not pay full price for anything, no matter what it is. That is where amazon comes in handy for me, because, I can get good deals on DVD's and CD's, and books. For some reason, these things aren't real "cheap" where I live.
I have been checking the site, http://www.onecupconnection.com/, for specials and deals, and i am very impressed with what they offer! They are having a sale right now, on the brewers themselves and if it weren't for the recent floods in my area, that caused my husbands work week to be cut terribly short the other week, I would be anxiously awaiting one of these to come via UPS!!
Luckily, my house and town were not literally "flooded", some people did have damage, but for the most part, we are fine! It is every town around us that was affected quite severely, and this caused every single road, in and out of our small town, to be shut down for days. So, unfortunately, we are a little short this month, but I did pick up some extra days at work, and I am wondering, should I try to grab one of these brewers while the sale is on?
The "frugal" "reasonable" me, says, "Wait and make sure you can afford to cover the missing income, and a few of the new expenses", and the "coffee lover" and "shopping addict" in me is saying, "Go ahead! You can grab one! Look at the sale prices! Imagine what it will be like to have 5 different cups of coffee at a time! Look at the variety! Check out the awesome deals www.onecupconnection.com, offers on the K-Cups! Buy 4 cases get 1 free! Now, that's a super offer! You have been checking this site for weeks, and they have always had specials on K-Cups! Not to mention, you can get hot tea and hot chocolate K-Cups for the brewer! Another plus for the kids......"
The site offers quite a good mix of products. From snacks, to sugar, to stirrers, to creamers, and paper products. Even boxes of wrapped straws! There is so much I would buy from them on a regular basis, and these things are very reasonably priced! They seem to always have something on sale. This week, they are offering free shipping, and 2 free cases of K-Cups, with the purchase of a Keurig B145 brewer, for $129.99. 42 K-Cups, the Keurig B145 brewer, and free shipping, for $129.99. That is actually, to me, a real great deal.
Another plus that I have found, is the cases of K-Cups that they sell, cases of 24, not 18, like you see in stores. (Please note that the special I wrote about above, has a total of 42 K-Cups, not 48. This is noted on the home page, and it states that the Keurig B145, comes with a case of 18 K-Cups, and this is why it totals 42)
I have to also stress that the website is very easy to navigate, and they offer a large assortment of snacks, and paper products, and K-Cups! They offer cases of name brand ( Quaker, Nestle, Healthy Choice, Nature Valley, Del Monte, Herrs, Utz, Bachman, just to name a few!), products! I have seen sales on these over the past couple weeks as well. My favorite deal here is the case of ACT11 Butter Lovers popcorn, 28 full size bags, for $9.94! That makes each bag under 36 cents each!
This website also offers free shipping on orders $60 or more! This is another big plus for me! i can order once per month, K-Cups, popcorn, those real cool wrapped up straws that my kids would love, lol, and a few other products, and take advantage of the free shipping!
You have got to head over there though and look at the variety of brands and flavors that make these cute little K-Cups for the Keurig Brewers! Wolfgang Puck, Donut House, Newmans, Celestial Seasonings, Caribou! I have to say, I have never tried a lot of the flavors and brands, but this is another reason I am having a hard time putting this purchase off any longer! Flavors like, Kahlua, Irish Creme, Caramel Vanilla Nut, there are variety packs, almost every cup imaginable! I am more of a regular, darker roast person, but once in a while, I do like to try something new. I think I would have to buy the variety pack K-Cups for me, and I think my husband will probably stick with just regular, darker roast too. But who knows? with this much variety, and that many deals, it won't cost much to try a new flavor each month.
They also have a blog, where they offer recipes with the K-Cups!
You can find their blog here!
It seems as though the Keurig Brewer has won my attention, and much respect!
I will be ordering one as soon as finances calm down here at the Oliver household, and i will definately post pictures and my complete reviews!!
Please leave any comments you may have on these Keurig Brewers! I would love to know what you think of this company? Do you own a Keurig Brewer? Do you have any recipes you used your Keurig Brewer for? If you don't own one, are you considering a purchase? What are your favorite flavors?
Like One Cup Connection on Facebook for Deals and Specials and Promotions!
You can also find them on Twitter!!

My husband was like "Oh yeah! I definately would love to have one of those! Those are awesome!" he is a coffee drinker to, thanks to me I think, but he also likes to have 1 cup at a time throughout the day. Not a pot at a time, like me.
We usually have coffee every morning, and coffee after dinner each night. he normally has to be in bed fairly early during the week, due to his work schedule, so, the 1 cup part really is a big plus for us!
The other very big plus that I have found, is the amount of different coffees available for these Keurig Brewers! There are so many to choose from and the varieties seem endless! This is also going to be a major factor in my. "Hmmmm, should miss can't bear to spend the extra money on something that I do not need at the moment, splurge on such an amazing coffee brewer?"
When I say "splurge", you have to remember that I am the type who just will not pay full price for anything, no matter what it is. That is where amazon comes in handy for me, because, I can get good deals on DVD's and CD's, and books. For some reason, these things aren't real "cheap" where I live.
I have been checking the site, http://www.onecupconnection.com/, for specials and deals, and i am very impressed with what they offer! They are having a sale right now, on the brewers themselves and if it weren't for the recent floods in my area, that caused my husbands work week to be cut terribly short the other week, I would be anxiously awaiting one of these to come via UPS!!
Luckily, my house and town were not literally "flooded", some people did have damage, but for the most part, we are fine! It is every town around us that was affected quite severely, and this caused every single road, in and out of our small town, to be shut down for days. So, unfortunately, we are a little short this month, but I did pick up some extra days at work, and I am wondering, should I try to grab one of these brewers while the sale is on?
The "frugal" "reasonable" me, says, "Wait and make sure you can afford to cover the missing income, and a few of the new expenses", and the "coffee lover" and "shopping addict" in me is saying, "Go ahead! You can grab one! Look at the sale prices! Imagine what it will be like to have 5 different cups of coffee at a time! Look at the variety! Check out the awesome deals www.onecupconnection.com, offers on the K-Cups! Buy 4 cases get 1 free! Now, that's a super offer! You have been checking this site for weeks, and they have always had specials on K-Cups! Not to mention, you can get hot tea and hot chocolate K-Cups for the brewer! Another plus for the kids......"
The site offers quite a good mix of products. From snacks, to sugar, to stirrers, to creamers, and paper products. Even boxes of wrapped straws! There is so much I would buy from them on a regular basis, and these things are very reasonably priced! They seem to always have something on sale. This week, they are offering free shipping, and 2 free cases of K-Cups, with the purchase of a Keurig B145 brewer, for $129.99. 42 K-Cups, the Keurig B145 brewer, and free shipping, for $129.99. That is actually, to me, a real great deal.
Another plus that I have found, is the cases of K-Cups that they sell, cases of 24, not 18, like you see in stores. (Please note that the special I wrote about above, has a total of 42 K-Cups, not 48. This is noted on the home page, and it states that the Keurig B145, comes with a case of 18 K-Cups, and this is why it totals 42)
I have to also stress that the website is very easy to navigate, and they offer a large assortment of snacks, and paper products, and K-Cups! They offer cases of name brand ( Quaker, Nestle, Healthy Choice, Nature Valley, Del Monte, Herrs, Utz, Bachman, just to name a few!), products! I have seen sales on these over the past couple weeks as well. My favorite deal here is the case of ACT11 Butter Lovers popcorn, 28 full size bags, for $9.94! That makes each bag under 36 cents each!
This website also offers free shipping on orders $60 or more! This is another big plus for me! i can order once per month, K-Cups, popcorn, those real cool wrapped up straws that my kids would love, lol, and a few other products, and take advantage of the free shipping!
You have got to head over there though and look at the variety of brands and flavors that make these cute little K-Cups for the Keurig Brewers! Wolfgang Puck, Donut House, Newmans, Celestial Seasonings, Caribou! I have to say, I have never tried a lot of the flavors and brands, but this is another reason I am having a hard time putting this purchase off any longer! Flavors like, Kahlua, Irish Creme, Caramel Vanilla Nut, there are variety packs, almost every cup imaginable! I am more of a regular, darker roast person, but once in a while, I do like to try something new. I think I would have to buy the variety pack K-Cups for me, and I think my husband will probably stick with just regular, darker roast too. But who knows? with this much variety, and that many deals, it won't cost much to try a new flavor each month.
They also have a blog, where they offer recipes with the K-Cups!
You can find their blog here!
It seems as though the Keurig Brewer has won my attention, and much respect!
I will be ordering one as soon as finances calm down here at the Oliver household, and i will definately post pictures and my complete reviews!!
Please leave any comments you may have on these Keurig Brewers! I would love to know what you think of this company? Do you own a Keurig Brewer? Do you have any recipes you used your Keurig Brewer for? If you don't own one, are you considering a purchase? What are your favorite flavors?
